Chris Jericho has donated $2,500 to the medical fund of Syko Stu, who is recovering from serious injuries following a violent unplanned attack during a KnokX Pro Wrestling event on August 23.
The incident occurred when Raja Jackson, son of former UFC champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, entered the ring and assaulted Syko Stu with more than 20 punches to the face while he was already down. The assault left Stu, whose real name is Stuart Smith, with multiple facial fractures and the loss of several teeth.

Stu has since regained consciousness and publicly thanked fans for their support, but doctors have confirmed he faces a long recovery process. A U.S. Army veteran, Stu has received additional backing from public figures, including YouTuber MrBeast, who offered to help cover hospital bills.
Jericho’s donation adds to his history of quietly supporting wrestlers and causes in need. Known for stepping in with financial assistance throughout his career, he once again provided direct help at a critical moment for a fellow performer.
Meanwhile, authorities in Los Angeles have opened an investigation into the attack. No arrests have been made, but KnokX Pro Wrestling has permanently banned Raja Jackson from its shows, and streaming platform Kick has suspended his account.
